About
ZINTEK®: AN ITALIAN PRODUCT
Zintek® is an alloy composed of zinc, copper and titanium, produced with high-quality 99.995% zinc, in full observance of European standard EN 1179, with the addition of alloying elements. The zintek® rolled products complies with European standard EN 988 “Zinc and Zinc alloys - Specifications for flat rolled products and for construction works.” The alloy components which improve the characteristics of zinc in the rolled products are titanium, which increases resistance to permanent deformation, and copper, which increases tensile strength. The combination of these two components reduces the alloy’s expansion coefficient.
